THE BABY TRUST
The. Fantern People in the Worst Situation
Since I.ee Invaded Pennsylvania
There was courage to fight when Lee
invaded Pennsylvania and out the coal
carrying railroads from the west, hut
wiin the bahy coal trust shut, iT the
supplies, stopped many manufactur
ing concerns, threatened the schools
find caused untold suffering among
hundreds of thousands of the popula
tion, there was no fight left in the
present, government at Washington.
Teddy sent out a white flag and wanted
to parley for terms. The Philadelphia
Press, in discussing the situation, says:
'"If this strike continues two weeks
longer there will ensue the worst coal
panic America has over witnessed."
One of the oldest and most conserva
tive coal shippers in Philadelphia, a
man who has been in the business for
4 years, made that emphatic state
ment yesterday. He was not talking
of anthracite, but of bituminous coal.
The public cannot overestimate the
acute crisis which has been reached
in the soft coal business. Spot coal
which ordinarily sells for $2.40 a ton
in Philadelphia in September, now
. lyings $5 and cannot even be procured
at that figure. It is $S a ton in New
York.
Not since General Lee invaded
Pennsylvania, in 1863. and threatened
to cut all the soft coal lines to the
east, has there been a bituminous sit
uation that compares with the present
one. Contracts for delivering soft coal
are made on April 1 to last for a year.
Many dealers and shippers in Phila
delphia are living up to that contract
to the letter. The result is told by
one man's experience. He says:
"I loaded two ships today with coal
at the contract price, and my profit
was exactly six cents a ton. I could
have sold the same coal right here in
Philadelphia and made a profit of $2.75
a ton. In all I lost about $2,200 by ful
filling my contract to the letter."
Dealers are offering a large bonus
to customers to release them from
their contracts. Sometimes this prem
ium is as much as 50 per cent. In one
7T
case yesterday a firm delivered near
ly 1,000 tons of coal at the old price
and offered the purchaser $700 cash to
cancel the obligation. This was re
fused, and the coal went in at under
$3 a ton when it could have been sold
anywhere for $5.
Boston is in gVeat distress. Tele
grams come to ship coal without re
gard to the price, which means that
they will buy it at any figure. They
need the coal in manufacturing plants.
Big firms here and in New York are
in the open market bidding for great
quantities of bituminous at double
the schedule rate.
There is a vague notion that house
holders can get all the soft coal they
want when the anthracite supply is
not forthcoming for winter use. That
is a mistake. Bituminous will also be
extremely scarce and it will cost, if the
strike does not end, far more than hard
coal usually does.
Tne difficulty is in getting the coal
from the mines. Cars of the Baltimore
and Ohio that were loaded on August
20 have not yet reached Philadelphia.
They should arrive in four days. The
Pennsylvania railroad has cars on its
tracks that were started from the
mines in southwestern Pennsylvania
on the 1st, and they are'not here. The
roads are blocked with coal trains,
sidings are utilized for storing their
own supply of coal, and there is a
lack of locomotives to haul the enorm
ous quantities demanded."
If a baby trust like the one for which
Baer is the spokesman can create such
havoc what will become of us when
one of the really big trusts get after
us? If Teddy sends out a white flag
to Baer, what would he do if Morgan
came marching down on him? Would
he crawl into a hole and pull the hole
in after him?
Stop and Think
Editor Independent: Wall street or
t.ie plutocracy are engaged in a new
scheme by which these men intend to
capture all the great increase of wealth
resulting from general education. Is
not this simply what the monied interr
ests have ever-been trying to accom
plish? Yes, the people must do their
own thinking, but it is mighty hard to
do much thinking along the lines of
political economy and do the hustling
for a living, which is necessary today
under the high pressure to which the
monied interests have brought the
poor of this great land. Give the
ycung all the education practical, but.
with the avenues of enterprise all
shut up to them, what can they do but
simply become servants of the very
power to which they should by right f
and to their own best interests stand
opposed?
I have often noticed a tendency in
political writers and speakers to go too
far ahead of their audience, not real
izing that the rank and file are not
keeping pace with them and hence
they give up the attempt to follow up
and think out the issues brought to
their attention. The average laborer
in this country is worth two of the old
world laborers and can and does pro
duce twice to three times as much in
a given time. Then he ought to have
more comforts and more leisure and if
he will use part of his time in study
ing the application of economic prin
ciples and unite to bring about better
conditions then there will be hope of a
better future for all concerned. I ask
the men of . my adopted country to
pause and think where we are going to
allow the Jehu of finance to drive us
to in the near future. At the present
gait it will not be long until all of
liberty is lost. Then stop and think
think of the almost boundless re
sources of our common country and
consider how small a share is yours,
in return for all your labor.

The Missouri Banker
Because the Missouri banker was
not a reader of the Nebraska Inde
pendent he has not yet been shown
what to do with his reserves and still
sends them down to Wall street where
the Wall street banker refuses to hon
or his drafts whenever the stock gam
blers are pressed for money to keep
their margins good. That is what those
bankers did in 1893, in defiance of the
banking laws, and what some of them
have been doing lately. A treasury
official makes the following statement:
"The banker in your prosperous Mis
souri manufacturing town formerly
loaned his money, at a reasonable rate;
of interest, to the manufacturing con
cern. Tnat concern is now in the
trust, and its financial affairs are
managed from New Y'ork. The Mis
souri banker gets no share of this
patronage. At the same time the Mis
souri banker is requested to send his
deposits to his reserve bank in New
Y'ork. They ?.re received with thanks,
but when the Missouri banker wants
to withdraw $100,000 of his own mon
ey, to aid in moving the crops or any
local enterprises, the New York bank
ers have a fit, start a cry of a money
panic and appeal to the government to
help- them out."
The Nebraska banks have for the
most part taken the advice of The In
dependent and kept their reserves out
of Wall street. When the boom bursts
the Nebraska banks will not be in the
condition that they were in '93, ex
cept the few, whose managers never
read anything but republican papers.
The Independent has been saying for
a long time that the next crash will
catch the eastern communities that:
have been casting the big republican
majorities, while the west, where the
people have been studying banking
and finance to some purpose, will es
cape its worst effects, and it is more
firmly of that opinion than it ever was
before

BANK OEPOSITS
Fignrcs From the Tmmry Department
Showing; the Enormous Expansion
of Bank Credit
A glance' at the tables below will
explain why Secretary Shaw is adopt
ing such unusual methods to expand
the money circulation. Rapid as has
been the increase in actual money,
the bank deposits have grown still
more rapidljr. An increase of nearly
34 billions between 1897 and 1901
helped create an upward tendency in
prices which will react as soon as the
money expansion and bank credit ex
pansion ceases. Such matters never
stand still. The ratio between bank
deposits simply another name for
debts due from the bankers to their de
positorsand actually money is now
above the limit of safety. Any fur
ther inflation of the credit bubble with
out more money would burst it. It can
not be inflated much further without
more actual money in the bankers'
possession. So Shaw grants them ab
solution if they violate the reserve law
so far as concerns government depos
its, and in other devious ways seeks
to increase the actual money under
control of the bankers and thus per
mit them to further increase their
loans and- deposits.
Of course the hair of the dog will not
always cure the bite. Slmilia similibus
curantur is probably good enough doc
trine for homeopath physicians, but it
won't work in finance. Shaw's present
inflation will undoubtedly put off the
evil day for some time, but the reac
tion will be all the more severe when
it does come.
The bank deposits of the people of
the United States aggregate eight and
a half billion dollars, an average of
$108 per capita. Ten years ago they
aggregated $4,232,000,000, or just half
the amount of today, and twenty years
ago they were $2,600,000,000, or a lit
tle more than one-quarter of those of
today.
These figures are presented in a ta
ble just prepared by the treasury bu
reau of statistics for publication in
the forthcoming issue of its monthly
summary of commerce and finance.
They are compiled from the reports of
the comptroller of the currency and
include the deposits in national banks,
savings banks, state banks, loan and
trust companies, and private banks,
and cover the official figures of the year
1901. The figures for the various
classes of banks stand as follows:
Total deposits in 1901.
Deposits in Dollars.
National banks 2.937,753,233
Savings banks 2,597,094,580
State banks 1,610,502,246
Loan & trust companies. .1,271 ,081,174
Private banks 118,021,903
Aggregate 8,535,053,136
The figures thus compiled by the bu
rean of statistics show the total de
posits in the various banking organi
zations of the country so far as they
can be obtained, from 1875 down to
the present time; though it is proper
to add that the figures for private
banks include, since 1887, only such
banks as voluntarily report to the
comptroller of the currency, in other
words only about, one-fourth of the
total number of private banks in the
United States; while during the period
from 1875 to 1882 the figures cover the
deposits in practically all private
banks. Taking the figures at inter
vals from 1878 to 1901, the total de
posits in all banking institutions stand
as follows: !
Year Deposits.
1878 $1,878,434,270

1897 5,196,847,530
J901 8,535,053,136
During recent years the growth has
been very rapid. From 1878 to 1882
the increase was $877,503,783; from
1882 to 1887. $499,834,081; from 1887

GENERAL BARRY
What the Treat of the Sixth DUtriet is Say
ing About the Gallant Old Hero
Gen. Patrick H. Barry, brigadier gen
eral of the Nebraska national guard;
passed through Lincoln Wednesday
en route for Ft. Riley, Kas., in obed
ience to special orders No. 137, issued
by command of Governor Savage,, to
attend the encampment and maneuv
ers of troops of the regular army, and
of the several states, at that place, up
to October 8. General Barry is the
populist-democratic candidate for con
gress in the Big Sixth, and his ab
sence will give Civilian Kinkaid an
opportunity for a week's campaigning
in company with the socialist candi
date, undisturbed by the inroads be
ing made by Barry in the splendid
campaign he has been making. Al
though it is doubtful if the governor's
orders are effective to send a member
of the guard beyond the state lines,
yet General Barry is not the man to
quibble over technicalities and like
the true soldier that he is, he obeyed
without questioning the governor's au
thority. During his absence, the pop
ulists and democrats of the Sixth dis
trict will not allow his campaign to go
oy default.
Speaking of deficiencies, what is the
matter with the one which will be
piled up under this republican admin
istration, with Adjutant General Colby
throwing the state's money right and
left? Aside from the office expenses,
the legislature of 1899 gave General
Barry (who was then adjutant gen
eral) $23,853.52 for "support of the na
tional guard. y He accomplished the
reorganization of the guard and got
through with something like $8,000 of
deficiency claims for pay of the guard
and railroad transportation. The leg
islature of 1901 gave General Colby
$34,600 for "support of the national
guard," and it was exhausted long ago.
General Barry must bear his own ex
penses at Ft Riley and take his
chances of the next legislature re
imbursing him.
The following, from the Alliance
Herald, shows General Barry's stand
ing In his home district:
CAN YOU DO IT, OLD SOLDIER?
The subsidized press of this district
and we use tne word understanding
tells us that Gen. Patrick H. Barry
is already beaten in his race for con
gressional honors; that Moses P. Kin
kaid is as certain of being elected as If
the people had already spoken. Know
ingly, and with no other motives but
to deceive, they indulge in misrepre
sentation. They tell us, for instance,
that General Barry was born in 1834,
attempting thus to create the .impres
sion that the heroic old soldier is too
old to send to congress that he has
outlived his usefulness and is, in fact,
in his dotage. The truth is General
Barry was born in '44, and is as hale
and hearty, physically, as the average
man ten years his junior, with a mind
as clear and bright and strong as ever
aided in the guidance of our great ship
of state. How well does every man
who is acquainted with General Barry
know this to be true. But carried
away with party success, the receipt
of pecuniary assistance and the posi
tive assurance of more, the men who
control the columns of the republican
newspaper of this district will stop at
nothing in order to secure the success
of the man who represents corporation
greed. They tell us that the old vete
rans will not support General Barry,
and to prove their assertion true,
quote some "old soldier" who wears
the insignia of G. A. R. membership,
but who in truth bore scant part In
the terrible struggle to prevent the
dismemberment of the union. Well
they know that all this is false, but
like the drowning man who grabs at
a straw, they hope to avert the death
political death of their candidate.
But they reckon without their hosts.
What real defender of an inseparable
union can grasp General Barry's hand,
look into that scarred face and let his
eye rest upon that empty sleeve, with
out feeling his blood tingle, and with
out experiencing a sense of pride of
comradeship, of admiration for this
heroic brother whose person tells how
grandly and heroically he acted out
his part in that memorable and terri
ble time when brother fought against
brother, each feeling that his cause
was holy? Let the Herald tell you
something, old soldiers of Nebraska.
Let it tell you how Patrick H. Barry
received those facial scars. It was on
tho 12th of Itly, 1864, at the battle of
Spottsylvanla Court House, Virginia,
when General Barry's regiment had
charged and been repulsed, and the
dead and dying were all around and
about the stubbornly retreating living.
Finally they made a stand, the enemy
was checked and the tide was turned.
Exploding shells had started a forest
fire, in the midst of which lay the
wounded boys in blue. Volunteers
were called for to attempt their rescue.
Among the first to respond was young
Barry. Gallantly and with that cour
age that belongs only to the born hero,
the boy fought his way through smoke
and flame till he reached a fallen com
rade. Gathering the dying soldier in
his arms young Barry started on his
perilous backward trip, bearing prec
ious burden. The awful flame had
reached into the limbs of the trees, but
through it went the living and the dy
ing. Patrick H. Barry succeeded, and
as he laid his comrade down, out of
the reach of the cruel flames, death
mercifully ended his suffering. But
at what a fearful cost to the rescuer!
His life had almost been the sacrifice.
The skin was burned from his neck
and face, and writhing in agony and
tottering and exhausted from his su
perhuman effort, proud comrades bore
him to a place of rest. And this is the
man this is the hero that we are told
is not competent, is not worthy, is too
old to represent us in the halls of con
gress. Who are we asked to honor in
stead? Moses P. Kinkaid, a mediocre
lawyer, chronic office-seeker, corpora
tion servitor and smooth-tongued apol
ogist for greedy, unprincipled monop
olists. Can you do it, old soldiers?
Can you stultify yourselves? Not in a
thousand years could you be guilty of
such treachery! And right well the
Herald knows it.
"The World do Hove"
Editor Independent: My only rea
son for sending you this little clip
ping is that it is from the Buffalo
Courier, an old democratic paper that
suppoiled McKinley and the gold
standard in 1896 and gave Bryan only
half-hearted support in 1900. Th
clipping is as follows:
"This country's financial system is
benevolent, as well as wonderful in its
complexity, so proved by the practice
of lending the people's millions to the
banks without interest to be in turn
lent to the people at high rates of in
terest." Again "the world do move." But
why such admissions from such a
source? Do they know the right and
still the wrong pursue? Or why do
they uphold (with the exception of an
occasional break like this) the present
financial system?
I confess It Is too much for me. I
wish you would go to New York city
with your paper, as your friends sug
gest, and I for one would never fear
of your environment causing you to
change your style of writing. Think
of the good you could do with the in
creased circulation that would come.
Your friends are quite right The
eastern people are so conceited they
will not in this generation at least
loolc to the west for information. 'Tis
sad, but true. Think it over, friends,
how badly we want such a paper as
The Independent to. help us in our fight
against plutocracy. ""f

BAD WEATHER -
WHAT IT DID TO A FARMER IN
OREGON. . ,
It Effects Lasted for Several Tear He
Telia llow He Final) Got en IIU Feefc
Acaln After a Series of. Reverae
"It was all due to the weather," said
ir. John Lee', a farmer of Greenville.
Oregon, in relating a recent experience
to a reporter. " - " '.
"The weather." he continued, "plays
an important part in a farmer's life
and In this instance its effects upon
mine lasted for several years. It wits
in the spring of 1895. Working in the
fields during a long stretch of cold rain
and wind brought on an-attack of the
grip. It took right hold of me and I
suffered terribly with it. When that
finally went away It left me with the
ague. Several doctors prescribed for
me but their medicine did me no good.
My head ached and I was dizzy; my
blood was very bad and I was so very
nervous that every , little sound an
noyed and worried me. Besides this I
had a very severe case of stomach
trouble, food did not nourish me and
my appetite was poor. It would be Im
possible for me to describe my misery."
"But how did you get relief?" asked
the reporter.
"Well, one day I got hold of a book
let telling of the cure of a case similar
to mine by Dr. Williams' Pink Pills
for Pale People and thought I would
try them, i felt better after taking a
part of a box so I kept on till cured.
About three boxes did it and now I
am as well as ever I was."
It is of the utmost importance to
your health If you have suffered from
the grip, that you should cleanse the
system of the lingering germs and put
it in condition to resist and ward olf

TWENTY-ONE WEEKS
OF STRIKES
THE ANTHRACITE COAL STRIKE
HAS BEEN ON NOW FOR 21
WEEKS AND THERE IS
LITTLE HOPE OF SETTLEMENT
In the Near Future. Meanwhile An
thracite Coal Has Advanced to
Frightful Figures.
President Mitchell and J. Pierpont
Morgan have not yet settled the coal
ttrike. So far as the public can see
this disastrous controversy between
owners and laborers in Pennsylvania
is no nearer settlement than it was
more than five months ago. The ten
sion it great, and the issue of immense
importance. Every fireside in the land
is affected.
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION
is an economic principle which experi
ence approves and demands. The Am
erican genius for self-government must
devise some feasible scheme for avoid
ing these awful business cataclysms.
A cyclone or conflagration is not so de
structive or so far-reaching in its pow
er of evil. Meanwhile the necessity for
good life insurance companies like
THE BANKERS' RESERVE LIFE
increases. The greatest fiduciary or
ganizations in the world are those
forms of savings institutions. They
gather nearly $2,000,000 a year from
the earnings of Nebraskans. They pay
back to beneficiaries in this state near
ly half a million per annum. The re
maining $1,500,000 nearly all goes east
and never finds its way back to this
state.
The 'Bankers' Reserve Life has be
gun a work of reform here. It now
has nearly $6,000,000 at risk. Its sur
plus is invested in Nebraska securi
ties. Its income for the present year
will average $15,000 per month. It
has no unpaid death losses. It is a
home grown and home growing enter
prise. B. H. ROB1SON, PRESIDENT,
announces that $2,000,000 in new busi
ness has been written this year. The
annual report for December 31 will 1
an eye opener to friends and foes. It
will show not only a phenomenal
growth in volume of business but an
equally remarkable increase in income
and assets. Active business and pro
fessional men and experienced solici
tors can obtain liberal terms and
choice territory. Address
